Chapter 643: Han Dynasty’s Corpse-Dismantling Taisui, New City’s Sin of Arrogance
......
The people at the same table exchanged glances, communicating with their eyes.
They were muttering in their hearts.
So they asked: "Then tell us, what exactly counts as interesting?"
After all that buildup.
Wasn't he just waiting for someone to ask?
The man became interested, raised his thumb, and pointed behind him: "Brothers, can you hear what the other tables are talking about?"
The several men instantly turned their faces showing disdain: "Who doesn't know? They're discussing the White Ridge Special Envoy, the Corpse-Shattering Taishui."
"I even went to see the battle traces outside Xiankong Town."
The speaker waved his hand: "Nothing new."The man grew somewhat anxious: "That's all ancient history, I've got something fresh here."
His fair-weather friends turned their gazes: "Tell us?"
The man cleared his throat: "Ahem."
Someone immediately shouted: "Waiter, bring wine!"
After a pot of good wine was placed on the table, the man finally began his story.
"You guys, you only know one part, not the other."
He extended two fingers and waved them there: "I'll just ask two questions to test you, do you know what other nickname Special Envoy Lu, the Corpse-Shattering Taishui, has?"
"Do you know where Grand Duke Lu went after finishing the battle at Xiankong Town?"
Well now, this stumped the several men.
They looked at each other.
All were confused, then shook their heads.
"Hey, if you know then hurry up and tell us."
The man knocked on the table in front of him, watching as the wine cup was already empty.
The understanding ones quickly poured him wine before he would speak.
"First, this White Ridge Special Envoy Grand Duke Lu has gained another title, and it came from the foreign devils at the White Eagle consulate east of our New City."
"These foreign devils respectfully address Grand Duke Lu as: Great Han's Corpse-Shattering Taishui, New City's Sin of Arrogance."
The several men were still somewhat confused.
"Grand Duke Lu is indeed quite arrogant, although I haven't seen him in person, everyone who has met him describes him as arrogant. Whether you have background, skills, or money, he won't even look you straight in the eye."
"But how does that connect to being a sin?"
"Listen to me slowly, this relates to my second question from earlier - where did Grand Duke Lu go after the battle at Xiankong Town."
The man continued: "You should know about the recent attack on the Tai Island consulate in Path of Dry Bones, where Path of Dry Bones 749 suffered heavy casualties, right?"
"At that time, not only did Money-Eyes Li Shu, Unstoppable Zuo Qingzhi, White Bone Ferry Mu Baiying, and over a hundred Path of Dry Bones 749 investigators die."
"But also, over ten thousand Tai Island Qi Refiners at that Tai Island consulate were completely wiped out. The scene could be described as a living hell."
Everyone listening was stunned.
Even the surrounding noise quieted down at this moment.
Each person felt their heart itching with curiosity.
Although his words were quite clear, without this person's personal confirmation, they still found it somewhat hard to believe.
People around began shouting.
"Waiter, bring wine for the guest at Hall Six, on me!!!"
"Waiter, bring your restaurant's signature dishes for the guest at Hall Six, on me!!"
"Waiter......."
The repeated shouts made the lead performer on stage, Feng Yueming, unable to continue singing.
No one was listening to her sing anymore.
The seated man stood up and bowed to all directions: "Too kind, too kind."
"Since everyone wants to hear, I'll tell the story."
"They say the perpetrator came quickly, left fast, struck ruthlessly, left no survivors. Whether you were local or foreign, whether you were 749 officials or consulate staff."
"All got the same treatment - kill!"
"His methods were clean and efficient, absolutely no messing around, crushing everything in his path, charging forward recklessly."
"After finishing the killing, he left, leaving the later Path of Dry Bones 749 investigators completely helpless. No survivors had seen the person."
"With no other choice, they finally went to the White Eagle consulate in the east to request technical personnel to restore the surveillance footage from that area at the time."
"And guess what everyone saw."
He picked up his cup and slammed it on the table.
SMACK!!!
On stage, Feng Yueming's movements froze as she barely contained her anger - this was already the second time she'd been interrupted.
She put away her stage spear: "Esteemed guest, this is already the second time you've interrupted me. Isn't this inappropriate?"
The man also became temperamental.
He was right in the middle of his excitement, wasn't she ruining his fun?
He immediately stiffened his neck: "Then should I go outside to speak?"
This was the critical moment, everyone was listening with great interest. Go outside?
That wouldn't do.
Everyone chimed in to support him.
"The All Under Heaven One Family restaurant emphasizes that all within the five lakes are brothers, all under heaven are one family. All who come are guests. If you're going to say that, then we should all go outside, right?"
"First time I've seen someone trying to drive guests away, really strange."
"Is your attitude that high and mighty?"
"The noise affects our experience as opera listeners. We haven't said anything, can't you endure it?"
"To put it plainly, this place is for eating, not just for opera singing. If it were only for opera singing, that would be an opera house. Who doesn't talk while eating? If you're not happy with that, you should go sing at an opera house. Those who like silence can go buy tickets to support you."
"Singing this same Farewell to the Moon performance every day, I've already memorized it. If it weren't for this atmosphere, wouldn't it be better to watch TV at home? I just bought a new Tongxuan Ion big-screen TV."
These words infuriated Feng Yueming on stage.
Damn it!
Not singing anymore!
She went directly off stage.
The man bowed to everyone around: "Thank you, thank you."
He did like Feng Yueming, but how many times in life do you get such highlight moments?
He picked up his tea cup and slammed it again.
SMACK.
Clear the area, silence.
The entire restaurant listened only to his voice echoing.
"They saw black official robes, scholar-warrior sleeves, lotus-root fiber cloud-walking boots, Sin Dragon coiled belt."
Everyone's eyes widened.
Then, this guy changed his tone: "But unfortunately, they didn't see his face."
"Everyone, isn't this coincidence remarkable?"
"Everyone dared to think it was the Corpse-Shattering Taishui Lu Ding, but no one dared to say it was the Corpse-Shattering Taishui Lu Ding."
"Later, these foreign devils completed their mission and returned to the White Eagle consulate in the east. It didn't even take days, it was the same day."
"The White Eagle consulate issued an announcement saying the Tai Island consulate people got what they deserved, directly confronting Path of Dry Bones 749, evaluating them and the Tai Island consulate as birds of a feather, rats from the same hole."
"The reason was that the White Eagle consulate provided evidence proving that the Tai Island consulate's Consul General, Saika Maki, was secretly capturing local Path of Dry Bones residents and conducting human experiments."
The man took a sip of tea: "Regardless of whether it was Grand Duke Lu's doing or not, just this act of doing good without leaving a name, destroying one demon's den, deserves my respect from this Du family member!!!"
"Good!!!!!"
Thunderous applause erupted as numerous diners cheered loudly.
Someone also raised a question.
"Then why is Grand Duke Lu's other nickname New City's Sin of Arrogance?"
